Can't Say It Like I Mean It

Key: EmHard

F#m

EmIt's easier to forgive someone for being Gwrong

Than for being Bmright, isn't iAt?

EmAnd how your angry tears will fall when all your Gplans

Don't suit the one you made them Dfor

It comes Ato this

It's Emeasier forF#mgetting how you Fgot to shore G

When Emevery cloud that F#mblows your way

Is Fsomething elseG to Bmblame me for

CSay it like you feel it

You can't Emsay it like you feel it anyAmore A

CSay it like I mean it

I can't Emsay it like I mean it anyAmore A

EmHold it up to the light, it looks like Glove

It's what the mirror Bmsays, you name it Aso

But you Emcut your pretty shapes as paper flakes

From careful Gsheets

They blow awaDy, not made Ato keep

What Emif alterF#mation makes a Flittle lie?G

When Emwhat you paint inF#mstead is easier Fon the eyeG

Than Bmwhat you hide

CSay it like you feel it

You don't Emsay it like you feel it anyAmore A

CSay it like I mean it

I can't Emsay it like I mean it anyAmore A

ANot anymore

CEmD

CEmDA

There are Cpeople who you think you're gonna Emlove forever

Oh, when you Dshould know better, you Ashould know better

Some Cpeople only see you as a Emmove they're making

Another Dstep they're taking, a Abet they're staking

There are Cpeople who you think you're gonna Emlove forever

You're gonna Dstay together, you Ashould know better

Some Cpeople don't forgive you what you Emgive up freely

Or that you Dfound it easy, they want to Aown completely

There are Cpeople who you think you're gonna Emlove forever

Oh, when you Dshould know better, you Ashould know better

Some Cpeople only see you as a Emmove they're making

Another Dstep they're taking, a Abet they're staking

There are Cpeople who you think you're gonna Emlove forever

You're gonna Dstay together, you Ashould know better

When I Was Your Girl

Key: CCapo 2Medium

CWhen I was your girl

I didn't kEnow that I would

end where you beAmgin

more beautiful in your E5skin

No matter of regCret

this loosening cuErl

Teasing you oAmut

When I was your giE5rl

In my roCom you said we'll stay heEre for an endless yAmear

Close the doFor we're letting no one neCar

When I was your gEirl Am

When I was your giE5rl

And then toCday

All the nightmares came my wEay

All the tears I tried to stAmay

You were never satiFsfied

When I was your giCrl

When I was your giGrl

And when I was sChe

I'd put on evEery coat

To wear the weather doAmwn

But even in the sE5un

You said you tasted raCin

I watched you unfEurl

You held on to Amme

When I was your gE5irl

In my cuCps I see you watEching from the edge of the Ambed

I'm sinking woFrds that you never saCid

When I was your giErl Am

When I was your giE5rl

And then todCay

I'll be keeping out your wEay

Every debt they owe I pAmay

They were never satisFfied

When I was your giCrl

When I was your giGrl

We tore out a paCge

Impolitely quit the stEage

Into corners sweep our raAmge

I would never leave you cryFing

When I was your giCrl

When I was your giGrl

When I was your giFrl

Filigree

Key: DMedium

G/B

A/C

I fell into a Dcinema

Watching pictures in a Adream

Shifting the fidgeting to Gstill

Nine other people took their Dleave

No humping bones of Dfiligree

Grace and nature Amimicry

All but took me to my Gknee-G/Bee- Dees

You Gjump too soon and miss all this

Now something Dbeautiful happens

All there is this Gbeautiful minute

We wait G/Bon A/C we'll Dwait on

It moved as slow as slow can Dbe

Her feet and words of Aearth and sea

I didn't feel it touching Gme- G/Bee- Dee

You Gjump too soon and miss all this

Now something Dbeautiful happens

All there is this Gbeautiful minute

We wait G/Bon A/C we'll Dwait on

I fell into a Dcinema

I didn't know where else to Abe

Sitting out a trip or Gthree

I thought I wanted Dfrippery

That girl five seats Ddown on me

Concave and blinking at the Ascene

Rolling credits on a Gscree-G/Bee- Deen

You Gjump too soon and miss all this

Now something Dbeautiful happens

All there is this Gbeautiful minute

We wait G/Bon A/C we'll Dwait on

We'll wait on
